Chef Demo with Ryan Hidinger & Ryan Smithof Staplehouse10:00 a.m. on 11/9Chef Demos are sponsored by COUNTRY Financial These two Ryans are changing the way Atlanta (and the world) looks at restaurants. As co-chefs and partners for the highly anticipated Staplehouse, set to open in spring 2014, they’re not only creating a neighborhood restaurant focused on locally produced ingredients—they’re also creating a nonprofit that will benefit from the good food they serve at said restaurant. Staplehouse will be a subsidiary of The Giving Kitchen Initiative, an organization they’ve built with partners Jen and Kara Hidinger to assist the Atlanta restaurant industry with unanticipated financial hardship. In their own words, The Giving Kitchen will “help pay excessive medical and other expenses for the people who anonymously and graciously nourish so many of us during our dining experiences and who may find themselves in a time of need.” Hidinger and Smith are perfectly positioned to lead such an effort, since they’re two of our city’s best “nourishers,” Between them they’ve got experience from Bacchanalia (both Ryans), Floataway Café and Muss & Turner’s (Hidinger, who, with his wife Jen, also pioneered the supper club scene in our city), and Canoe, Restaurant Eugene, Holeman & Finch Public House, and Empire State South (Smith). All that’s to say, this is going to be one epic demo, y’all. Don’t miss it.Save the date(s)…Holiday Artist MarketsNov. 30th & Dec. 14th (look for us inside)PRFM moves indoors for two dates of holiday shopping!
